It's easier to see and cut out the vines before they leaf out, which is why we're doing this work in late March (hopefully, the snow will have melted by then). Volunteers are asked to bring the following gardening equipment if they have it: loppers, pruners and rakes. There will be no digging. It is suggested that volunteers wear work gloves, sturdy shoes or boots, and long-sleeves and pants to protect against scratches and insects. Sunscreen and bug spray are recommended. Refreshments will be available. Sign up by emailing your name by March 22 to: webmasterbulloughspond@gmail.com

BPA Annual Meeting Re-Cap

The BPA Annual meeting took place on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 6:30 pm at the Senior Center at 345 Walnut Street. In addition to our usual annual meeting agenda items, we discussed the BPA's plans to improve the site of the former skating hut with additional benches and plantings. Below is a plan that we discussed, as we continue to seek input from the BPA membership about how best to improve the site.

Time to Dredge Again

Stay tuned for updates about the next big initiative of the Bullough's Pond Association, as we begin an education and advocacy campaign to facilitate the next needed dredging of Bullough's Pond.
